CBL unveils Kentucky mall plans

CBL Properties has announced that the first phase of redevelopment plans at Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Ky., will include a new-to-market entertainment venue, Round1 Bowling & Amusement.

Construction on Round1 is currently underway in a former Macy's building with an anticipated grand opening prior to the holidays this year, according to the Chattanooga-based shopping center operator.

"The addition of Round1 will position Jefferson Mall as a premier entertainment destination for our customers in the Louisville market and will draw visitors from the surrounding region," said Stephen Lebovitz, CBL Properties' chief executive.

Planning is also underway for redevelopment of the Sears building, which will include a mix of dining, entertainment and retail. More details will be announced over the coming months, according to CBL.
